yesterday, coupled with other attractions,
failed to bring out u crowd to the jockey
club grounds, the attendance being but little
larger than at the opening on last Tuesday.
The sky was clear, the wind blew gently and
rcfreshingly from the east, the woods were
dressed In yaricgated colors, and the sere aud
yellow leaf was everywhere. The track was
firm, springy and fast. The book-makers
sang their most seductive lays in all
kinds OF voices-tcnor, baritone, fall
setto, bnsso, both cantantc and pro-
fundo-and then the deep, dainpccl-
lar, husky voice was also heard Offering
large odds against the entries, 10 run or for
aplace, but IL availed not, the crowd was
not there To indulge in betting or backing
their judgment by placing dollars upon the
altar Of the unstable goddess Fortune. Even
the "tallyho" drag, for the first time in It's
history, failed to bring a lady % the club
house, but II contained a cargo Of good
looking ''stags.'
Later in the day the crowd gathered around
the book-makcrs' stalls and betting became
more lively on the short horses, upon whom
tempting Odds were Offered, and considerable
money changed hands.
The ladies who occupied prominent posi-.
tons on the balcony Of the clubhouse were
Mis- Montgomery, the Misses Humcs and
Mrs. II. Fory, of St Louis; Mrs. A. Collier,
Mrs. J. J. Duffy, Mn. Robert Jones, IT,,
